Watch turtles enter the sea for the first time

Only 1 out of 1,000 baby turtles make it. I found that to be very depressing as I watched them struggle to get to the water. The uplifting side of this is that there are humans out there trying to help them out of extinction.

This class is only done once a year in the month of August and the classes were almost entirely booked when I snagged our spot in July. You are guaranteed to watch baby turtles crawl to the ocean.

No cameras were allowed on the beach at all even the light from your phone screen is too much.

We traveled four and a half hours to watch as baby Loggerhead & Green Sea Turtles were released into the ocean. No flash photos were allowed beforehand as it causes disorientation.

Did it on our honeymoon! Was sweet.

I went with Mio to see the release of the Laggerhead turtle! Her name was Karen and she was awesome!!!! The people at the center drove her up in a truck. Then they took her out of a giant plastic storage container filled with towels. Then they carried her around to let everyone see her up close. Then they released her and she wobbled into the water like a truck with square wheels and then just disappeared!! So Awesome. I want to go next year and stand right next to the water.
